Calling in sick once in awhile is not the same as "always" being late to pick up your child. One is a necessary and rare occasion (and I'll bet you scramble to make other arrangements for the moms when it happens, right?), and the other is habitual disregard of your agreement.

Well, child's 1's mom isn't ALWAYS late. But, she IS often late when I COULD be done early. Or, if not her than another parent. I have six families in my daycare. I was just generalizing so it made sense. Most my families left by 4:30 today (even my usual 5:30 crew), but I told myself, "I bet someone is late" and SURE 'NUFF! But I said that because it DOES always happen that way!
I should have said SOMEONE is late on those rare occasions I COULD HAVE been done early, meaning I have not been done early without me, myself saying, "I am closing early."
It seems silly, I know it does. It's just... on a Friday, after a long day, a long week.... 4:30 looked REALLY good to me!
